Though i'm not going to try to pretend it was just the tories, it was like that on all fronts. A hell of a lot of "here are the bad things the others will do! Definitely don't vote for them!!" and very, very little "here are the positive things we will do, vote for us."
not surprising really. Hard for parties to focus on the positives when, it seems, there straight up just aren't any.

it is time labour rebuild now. I was always labour until new labour 2001....then i could see that blair was the devil himself....and never voted labour since
but i would consider even working for labour if they reform and get a proper leader...corbyn is the only candidate id back as the others voted in favour of the iraq war. A vote that should never ever ever ever ever ever ever be forgiven or forgotten
corbyn talks a fair bit of sense. Though hes more pro european than me, he does at least criticize the eu and admits it needs huge changes
